Long-lasting expansion of Vdelta2(neg) gammadelta T cells is a hallmark of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in kidney transplant recipients. The ligands of these cells and their role remain elusive. To better understand their immune function, we generated gammadelta T cell clones from several transplanted patients. Numerous patient Vdelta1(+), Vdelta3(+), and Vdelta5(+) gammadelta T cell clones expressing diverse Vgamma chains, but not control Vgamma9Vdelta2(+) T clones, displayed strong reactivity against CMV-infected cells, as shown by their production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha. Vdelta2(neg) gammadelta T lymphocytes could also kill CMV-infected targets and limit CMV propagation in vitro. Their anti-CMV reactivity was specific for this virus among herpesviridae and required T cell receptor engagement, but did not involve major histocompatibility complex class I molecules or NKG2D. Vdelta2(neg) gammadelta T lymphocytes expressed receptors essential for intestinal homing and were strongly activated by intestinal tumor, but not normal, epithelial cell lines. High frequencies of CMV- and tumor-specific Vdelta2(neg) gammadelta T lymphocytes were found among patients' gammadelta T cells. In conclusion, Vdelta2(neg) gammadelta T cells may play a role in protecting against CMV and tumors, probably through mucosal surveillance of cellular stress, and represent a population that is largely functionally distinct from Vgamma9Vdelta2(+) T cells.
